- Description: Super Pole Riders is chaos squared, games are owning the ambient music genre, paranoia, psychosis, OOBE, genocide, PRISM, and a nightstand that plays Snake. What more could you ask for?

*Pole Riders*, the fiercely-competitive, super-simple, mega-fun, zany “sports” game, is coming to PSN as [*Super Pole Riders*](http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/15/4430552/super-pole-riders-preview?ref=killscreen.com) in the Sportsfriends bundle. What makes it so super? It’s up to four player, so it will have twice the chaotic energy of the pole-vaulting original. Cannot wait!

The up-side to getting stuck on *Antichamber*’s rather daunting puzzles was the hum and drift of its ambient score. [You can now get drenched in its sound waves here](http://robinarnott.bandcamp.com/album/antichamber-double-album?ref=killscreen.com).

Paranoia, psychosis, OOBE. Polygon previews a triptych of psychological [Oculus Rift games about mental abnormalities](http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/15/4428698/oculus-rift-and-indiecade-at-e3-lucid-dreams-murderous-trees-and-the?ref=killscreen.com), including *The Recital*, inspired by lucid dreams.

If you haven’t already read [Tom Bissell criticism on ](http://www.grantland.com/story/%5F/id/9366466/tom-bissell-naughty-dog-latest-game-last-us?ref=killscreen.com)*[The Last of Us](http://www.grantland.com/story/%5F/id/9366466/tom-bissell-naughty-dog-latest-game-last-us?ref=killscreen.com),* which calls into question how these high-budgeted single-player games can be masterpieces and yet so incorrigibly tactless, you probably should.

Wow*, Snake* can truly be played on anything, even a solid oak nightstand.

We know [which games we will be playing when the Xbox One arrives](http://m.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/Xbox%5FOne%5FLaunch%5FTitles?ref=killscreen.com) this fall. Still unconfirmed if PRISM comes preinstalled.

Also, a couple of thoughtful video game articles were among the floatsam we found on Longreads. First, there’s [the breakup story of Activision and *Call of Duty* creators](http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2013/06/lawsuit-video-game-activision-zampella-west?src=longreads&ref=killscreen.com) Vincent Zampella and Jason West (whose upcoming shooter *Titanfall* has giant mechs and looks none-to-shabby.)

At the other end of the spectrum, check out [this memoir of a college student from genocidal Burundi](http://theamericanscholar.org/playing-at-violence/?ref=killscreen.com#.UbXZIvZ8LPR&src=longreads) who was frightened and baffled by American youths fascination with big guns in violent videogames.

*Cheers!*
